Wrathful spirit gave 10 seconds of retaliation when an aegis was removed, it got nerfed to 3 seconds. A lot of people think that guardians get 1 aegis and so going from 10 to 3 seconds was too much. I do agree that it should have been lowered to maybe 5 or something, but when ur in pvp, u get way too much retaliation from aegis removals.
Just for a random average build, ill try to explain how many aegis u would get in a fight (and keep in mind that retaliation is very powerful in pvp). U start the fight with an aegis activated and get hit. You’ll probably hit that 40 seconds timer once so u get a second aegis. U use ur Virtue of courage active and get a third aegis. U then reach half health and because of the 5 point trait in valor, u get another aegis (i dont know CD for this trait, but ill just assume u only get 1 aegis from this a fight). U then use renewed focus and it refreshes ur virtues giving u the passive aegis from it. Then u use the virtue again for the active virtue. This is 6 aegis’s in a fight that are getting removed, and that would give u 60 seconds of retaliation (which is a huge amount).
And i understand that with different builds, you could get more or less aegis depending, but i think 6 is a good amount for a decent length fight (and yes, renewed focus is actually good, especially in team fights where u have to tank and u get focused and stunned every time u try to use the other elites group heal). So now with the nerf, u go from 60 seconds to 18 seconds, which is a huge drop. And the point where this really fails is in short fights where maybe u get off 2 aegis’s for only 6 seconds of retaliation. So i understand that they needed to drop off how much retaliation u got in a long fight, but it also really hurt shorter fights
im in the pvp area that i have 100 hours clock on this character in and i switched from my silvari ranger to my human guardian. I know how far the max zoom used to be and i can even zoom in and get back to it, but now i can just zoom out a lot farther
its actually nice now that ive gotten use to how much smaller things are. in tourney matches, i can see like everything on and around the control points. also i can see a lot of the area behind me
I logged out for about an hour a little earlier, and when i came back on, my characters zoom could go a lot farther out than usual. Is this happening for anyone else? And yes, im completely positive that it is actually zoomed farther out, my eyes aren’t just going bad or anything
this happened to me once on the 3rd map in a tourney. i went to kill the enemies trebuchet before the game started, and when i finished it, i stayed there waiting to respawn in base. However, when the timer hit 0, i stayed at the same spot near the trebuchet and it didn’t reset me. i dont even think i was moving or anything when it happened
i couldn’t decide where to post it but it seemed like here was most appropriate because it happens in game and i think its a problem with the client, not my hardware or drivers or anything like that
it going off in random directions does sound like it could be right. but i am also thinking that i have never hit a target who isn’t within auto attack range with it.
I’ve been using the greatsword a lot in pvp, and something ive noticed about the 3 ability, is that it doesn’t really have a 600 range like the description says. Unless im within about a 200 range of the enemy, it always misses. The 4 skill for the leap has a 600 range and hits targets much father than the spin attack. Even the skill that teleports u to ur enemy and burns them has a 1,200 range but seems like u leap a mile compared to the range on the 3 ability. Am i doing something wrong or is this some kind of bug?
It seems some people have the same issue when dye removing, but my game just crashes randomly with no specific cause or anything in common. All my drivers and stuf are up to date, but randomly when im playing, the entire game will just exit out and it will leave me with a little message that says a serious error has occurred (theres no black screen or anything). This has been happening since i started playing and ive sent in a error report and tried doing the fix download it suggests, but it never works. Some times it will even happen if i alt tab out and back in, and it will bring of the frame of the client and just flicker. I have to restart my computer when this happens because i can’t even close it from the task manager. This happens everywhere i go, but it seems to happen more often when im in pvp
I am a very active tournament/pvp player who is looking for a guild thats main focus is this too. im not very interested in pve stuff, i just want to have people i can start regular groups with or if i need to, plenty of people to pull into a make shift group
why does it seem like no one ever has anything to say about this. when i ask in map chat, i never get a response, and even on here, no one says anything
I’ve never heard anyone talk about this, so i don’t know if its a bug or working as intended, but harpoon gun damage is so low that its almost useless to try auto attacking. Has anyone noticed this? If i switch to a spear, i do about 3-5x as much damage, and my skills do good damage with the gun, but my auto attacks do nothing. I think the only reason i havent check this out earlier is because im a ranger and my pet does most the damage to underwater mobs so i never really complained. But does anyone know if harpoon gun damage is bugged or something?
